   Each server has its own view of the Fediverse (more info: https://fedi.tips/which-posts-and-accounts-can-i-see-from-my-server/) which also affects which likes and boosts it sees.

   Also it can take time for servers to update their stats about accounts and posts. It's ultimately not that important to see these numbers being constnatly up to date.

     Hey mastoPeeps 👋 Have you ever looked at your own account from different instances? I had occasion to do this after I blocked or muted some ppl, and I have questions.

     Why do our own social graph numbers and the number of boosts and faves per post vary so much — sometimes by a *lot* — from one instance to the next – for the same account?

     The numbers we see in our own account on our home server is not necessarily what other servers see. But why? 🤔

     I'm not sure what determines the priority that servers handle tasks, but in general the Fediverse places much less importance on stats and "clout". That's why there are no stats visible in the web version of the Home timeline, for example.

     Some unofficial versions of Mastodon have no visible follower numbers for the same reason, to discourage "clout chasing".
